Lyrics
Before I was taken away, that one fateful day
I was walking down the street, and this cat had the nerve to say to me
'You ain't hiphop, you ain't this or that!
Matter of fact, I don't know what the fuck I'm looking at!'
Ooh, how brave, I thought, this soul
This pebble, to roll like a boulder down my path
Well let's do the math
There you are, and here I am
Two people, two thoughts, a moment in the task
Now we can sleep at this class,
Or choose to pass this course
My pockets ain't sayin' nothing, shit how 'bout yours?
In this crazy, crazy world, where Lulu and it's bear
Can't afford to live nowhere, and my rice don't mean shit here
But... that's okay, I know a way
All we got is the music, and our last chance better use it
I ain't saying that it's coming to an end, cause the end ain't got one
But I pick up the mic and headed straight for your soul
Don't mean to cop it, slam it, break it down for control
'Cause I am hiphop, and so much more, I've come through all the doors
And I've said it times before
Come over here, we got the shit
We'll take you to a place where we can live, and we
Live in a world of beats and baselines
Mic's and do-rimes
Show me your hands for the good of old-times
Get in a ship and fly, high
So then he quivered, and then he shivered
Ok, I'm lying, he came back and delivered
Too bad we in the streets, with all this concrete and the heat
Cause that's a lot of shit you got for grass to grow
Wow! I said take one step back black
Wow! I said take one step back black
How you sinkin' at, I don't deserve this time
To rock until it's right, to rock it till it's right!
I don't know what you spinnin' on
But you were born just like me, with a wish and a plead.
And just enough stroke to break free
And the more I say, what I say
The more you best to see
And the more I say, what I say
The more you best to be
Come over here, we got the shit
We'll take you to a place where we can live, and we
Live in a world of beats and baselines
Mic's and do-rimes
Show me your hands for the good of old-times
Get in a ship and fly, high
Live in a world of beats and baselines
Mic's and do-rimes
Show me your hands for the good of old-times
Get in a ship and fly, high
Look at you, look at you
Your eyes so wide, and don't have a clue
Living day by day and you can't stand to
Scared of what the corner's got waiting for you
Come over here, we got the shit
We'll take you to a place where we can live, and we
Live in a world of beats and baselines
Mic's and do-rimes
Show me your hands for the good of old-times
Get in a ship and fly, high
